Well sorry to say I didn't get to hang out with Joan or John. I only was able to say hi and play a April Fools joke on Joan telling her we were taking her to Denny's for dinner. :) Alycia In a message dated 4/3/12 4:19:48 PM Pacific Daylight Time, frontiergsd@xxxxxxx writes: My Dad and I had a great time hanging out with the judges Ken Cunningham, Steve and Kay Bloom, and Ed Barritt. Thank you all for coming out to judge for us! Evidently they didn't like Joan Fox or John. The danger of mentioning anyone is to leave someone out. Joan was fantastic, standing in pouring rain, doing a great job, and making it look so easy. She stayed the next two days to show us all how much fun a show can be. And John always looks like he enjoys the dogs, and did his usual good job for all the exhibitors. I think this group of judges cannot be beat. ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2011.
